IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

Did you taper yours at all, @sabergirl

I’ve been wearing my 633s a lot recently and have been appreciating the rise and top block - I do miss my 634s - but one think I have learned is footwear is the key to anything. Chunky work boots and Engineers absolutely dominate with the 634 cut.

I keep thinking about trying this cut even though the last thing I need is another pair of jeans and I have stick legs.

Your 666 always looks go great on you - the 634 will look great as well I’m sure - tall slim guys look great in the 634 and 1955 cuts.

^ this… it’s all about the inseam. At 6’ I’m not tall, but I’m not short either. What makes the 634 less than perfect for me is my 35” waist and 31” inseam.

Trying to decide on which pair to go with here… Size 31 on the left, and size 32 on the right.
Pretty minimal difference shown in the pictures, but the 31 are definitely slimmer in the thigh, and tight in the top block/riding up the crack!
Torn if I should account for stretch in the 31, or if the 32 will eventually become too baggy in their stretching... Any feedback appreciated!
-
@Ceeds I see your problem. To my eye, while they both look good, the W32 look better. However you are right, they will both stretch. The 21oz moves easily. How is the waist in them? If the W32 is comfortable now it will be too big after a weeks wear.
I think the W31 will be the way to go.
-
I concur with @neph93 the 31’s will stretch to perfection, if the 32’s are comfortable the first time you put them on they will stretch enough to be too big within a few days.
-
Thanks @Chap and @neph93 - really appreciate the help on this one!
I'd say the 32 is definitely more comfortable in the waist - could wear them almost immediately and be totally fine. The 31 are much more of a struggle to fully button, and feel more restrictive - I got them to button but with a fair amount of struggle and really hug my hips quite tightly - pocket use would definitely need them to loosen up!
-
I think the 31" pair look uncomfortably tight in the third set of photos. I'm not sure they'll stretch enough to be comfortable. I've made the mistake before (too many times!) of settling for the tighter pair, only for them to never stretch enough to be comfortable.
-
Worst case, I could throw them in for a hot wash/dry…
Won’t help. The 21oz is unshrinkable. If you think the w32 will still work with one inch stretch in the waist and baggier top block then stick with them. Otherwise do the w31.
Unlike @going_to_battle I have never regretted stretching out smaller pants, but have regularly regretted ending up with jeans that are too baggy because of stretch.

The W32 looks better on you. I like the silhouette of it a lot more than the W31. As someone who wears and loves the 634S fits, I personally think that it shouldn't fit (too) slim but rather loose and relaxed. There are better (and more) options if you wanted a slimmer pair of jeans. Everyone has their own preference on that though…
I also agree with what @going_to_battle says - I also have settled for tighter pairs and have regretted it down the road as, yes, the waist stretched to the point where I was okay with it but the rest didn't feel as comfortable in proportion.
I've listened too many times to people telling me to size down and go with the slimmer fitting jeans, that they'd stretch to the point where I'd feel good. Never was the case. With my current 634S I chose to go true-to-size/ a size up from what people would've told me to go with and I'm absolutely satisfied after almost a year in them.
TL;DR: If you want a slimmer look go with the W31, if you want a loose and relaxed fit go with the W32. Choose whatever you feel the most comfortable in.
